[VERSE]
[G]Came into this world, I [A]was lost not fo[D]und
It did no[G]t hold me in its[D] arms like it[A] holds me [G]now
So I [G]dreamed myself a bird who could [A]cross the w[D]aves
And I [G]woke up just a[D] man who was[A] miles a[G]way

[CHORUS]
M[G]iles a[D]way, miles [G]away, miles a[D]way, miles a[G]way


[VERSE]
[G]So I went to Cape Canaveral and I[A] went to the [D]moon
And I [G]stayed up [D]there for a[A] year or [G]two
F[G]amous picture of me above the [A]blue p[D]arade
A man a[G] million mile[D]s up, still[A] miles a[G]way

[CHORUS]
[G]Miles aw[D]ay, miles a[G]way, miles aw[D]ay, miles aw[G]ay


[VERSE]
S[G]o I went back to Kansas, it wa[A]s summerti[D]me
Brought [G]flowers to my [D]family b[A]y the river[G]side
At th[G]e end of his life, they said m[A]y father had [D]changed
I sup[G]pose we could have been friends[D] , but I w[A]as miles[G] away

[CHORUS]
[G]Miles a[D]way, miles [G]away, miles a[D]way, miles a[G]way


[VERSE]
[G]Honey, you don't belong in a [A]place like t[D]his
With yo[G]ur long yell[D]ow hair and [A]your hi[G]ps
B[G]ut the look in your eye is like th[A]e world from [D]space
The way the[G] sun hits off the[D] water from [A]miles a[G]way

[CHORUS]
[G]Miles a[D]way, miles [G]away, miles a[D]way, miles a[G]way

H[D]oney, can you leave your lig[G]ht on?
H[G]oney, can you leave your lig[D]ht on?
H[D]oney, can you leave your lig[G]ht on?
[G]I'm miles a[D]way, miles [G]away
Miles [D]away, miles a[G]way
